September 27, 1994 — March 12, 2008
Cody Lincoln English passed away on March 12, 2008, at age 13. He died as he always lived: without complaint and full of amazing courage and strength of character. He honored God in his short but powerful life. Cody was loved by all who knew him. He was well known in the Overland Park area for the great courage and stamina he displayed in his courageous battle with a rare form of cancer. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Cody was born in New Bern, N.C., on July 27, 1994, but moved to the Overland Park when he was 3. He attended Heartland Elementary and Harmony Middle School. He excelled in his school subjects as well as in sports. He played football through the Blue Valley Football Club, and he was the first recipient of the BVFC Student Athlete award. This award will hence be given in Cody's name every year to the student who is not only a good athlete but an outstanding student.
Cody is survived by his father, Claude (Butch) English, mother Jill English, and brother Nick Johnson and family.
A memorial service will be held for Cody on March 15 at 2 p.m. at Olathe Bible Church, 13700 W. 151st St., Olathe, KS 66061.
